Countrybrewer - www.countrybrewer.com.au/ is a very good and reliable source, too. I bought my hard cheese kit and camembert cheese kit from them. And whenever I need cultures and rennet, I order from them.

Yup, seconded. They have reasonable prices for starter kits and small amounts of cheesemaking stuff (also stuff for making beer/wine, sausages, chocolates, spirits/liqueurs, smoking, etc.). Unfortunately the store near me shut down, but there are still other ones in Sydney, plus their website. Greenliving had a better range of culture types and larger packet sizes. Cheeselinks has an great range, but most of the packet sizes were too large for my purposes - they would be good for small home dairies, or for splitting between several cheesemaking friends. From memory, shipping for small parcels is in the $8-12 range from all of these companies. Greenliving used to send very small items (like single sachets of cultures) by letter/CD-case type mail for $1.50 p+h, but they seem to have stopped doing this.

Yup thirded:) Super quick shipping (packed and sent the next business day), and they switched it to Express Post and refunded the cost difference as the online shop postage calculator overestimates to WA. I had hoped to order a couple of sheets of rennet tablets from Green Living, but I am not paying $13 for postage on that, and havn't yet heard back from them to confirm if they charge less for postage for such a lightweight order.
